FERNANDO TORRES: The Better Side Does Not Always Win, Admits Torres After Chelsea Defeat Barcelona

The
Spanish striker scored the Blues' second goal of the night as Roberto Di
Matteo's side held Barca to a 2-2 draw at Camp Nou to progress to the
tournament decider following a 1-0 victory in the first leg in London.

Prior to the match, Torres had
warned Barcelona that upsets can happen, and the Spaniard believes
that Tuesday's contest is an example of that.

"Football is just like this," he told reporters. "The better
side does not always win.

"We knew this is what we had to do against Barca, although this is not the
prettiest thing to do.

"We used our weapons and it turned out great for us in both matches. Barca
had their chances, but they did not take them and we found a lifeline with
Ramires' goal". "We
have great respect for Barca because we know they are the strongest side in the
world."

Torres then lamented the fact that Chelsea will be without suspended Branislav
Ivanovic, Raul Meireles, Ramires and John Terry for the final and stated he has
no preference in meeting either Real Madrid or Bayern Munich in the tournament
decider.

"We
are qualified for two finals [FA Cup and Champions League] and we will continue
to fight for fourth place in the Premier League", he said.

"These last weeks could turn a bad season into a memorable one. We will be
without several players and the most important thing is to continue like this
and believe that we can win”.

"I have no preferences because if we want to win the Champions League, we
have to beat any side".
